Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 99447 covers

99447 captures a remote consultation in which a treating clinician seeks another physician’s assessment of a particular patient’s care. The consultant reviews relevant records and discusses findings or management by telephone, internet, or electronic health record, then provides verbal and written feedback to the requesting clinician. For example, a primary care clinician may ask a cardiologist to review a patient’s clinical information and advise on management. The consultant reports the service; the treating clinician does not report 99447 for requesting the advice.

Choose 99447 when documented medical consultative review and discussion time totals 11–20 minutes. Record the request, material reviewed, discussion, recommendations, and report. The verbal and written report are integral to this consultation, not separate services under 99447. CMS physician fee schedule valuation includes physician work, practice expense, and malpractice; practice-expense valuation differs between office and facility settings.
